Vung Tau

A place to relax by the coast, Vung Tau has gained a reputation for its beaches. Offering reprieve from the huge and hectic Ho Chi Minh City, Vung Tau tourism primarily focuses on the sandy stretches and beachside economy of the coast, with the city's peninsular location giving it a coastline on three sides. Because of its oil-drilling operations, Vung Tau is a little better off--and a little more expensive--than many other Vietnamese cities. Vung Tau is in Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province.
